Wouldn't mind seeing the new Village Haus menu at MKs Fantasyland. I've only eaten there once but if it were to change, I'd probably eat there more often!
We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

Maybe if it does well at DLR, then they would change WDW's as well. :?:

It could happen. There have been rumors already that if it does do good, it could make its way to MK.

I wonder if they are doing a new GRR logo for theme or just because it's old and faded. I don't think they repainted it since 2001.

It almost seems like they would be re-theming the attraction since they keep stressing about attractions fitting the "new feel of the area"

...or maybe they're waiting until they can decide if they want to change the name of the ride altogether?

Maybe. I'd love to see that bear from the old Disney cartoons show up in the attraction somewhere, specifically the one with the park ranger where they are picking up trash ya know!

I was thinking they would re-theme to the Brother Bear animated film maybe. Part of that "toonification" Disney has been doing to different rides that don't have a tie-in to an animated film.

It could work if they retheme it to Brother Bear. They do have the Brother Bear playground/obstacle course right across from it.

true, but some of the themeing seems to be heading towards a more "classic" disney feel.

This is the cartoon I was referring to that would be neat to see at least a homage to

I remember that cartoon! That would be neat to see a homage to it of some sort.
